Port of Call
No city in the world is as dazzlingly different as Venice, a seaport built on more than 100 islands. In this magnificent Renaissance realm of canals, bridges and merchants on the Adriatic, gondoliers stand up to sing while they row. Even the buses are boats! You'll never forget the thrill of your first magical moments in St. Mark's Square or being part of the aquatic parade that never ends along the Grand Canal....

Bari is the capital of the Apulia region of Italy. It's the mezzogiorno's (Italy's south) largest city after Naples, and a bustling commercial center and port.
Bari is the largest and most important city of Apulia (even larger than Lecce) and stands on the Adriatic coast. It's mainly famous for being one of the exit doors of Italy, where travellers leave Ion ferries for neighboring countries. The city authorities, however, have been trying to raise its tourism profile and awareness on Bari's old town, which has retained its ancient Mediaeval plan and contains many historic buildings and sites. The old town was the heart of pre-Roman and Roman Bari and it is now possible to find several hip bars and restaurants open "from dusk till dawn" in this once dark and unsafe zone.
PLACES TO SEE:
Bari, especially in the ancient part of the city, called Bari Vecchia by locals. It's a beautiful mediaeval quarter in which there are a lot of important churches. The cathedral of Saint Nicolaus, for instance, has a gold ceiling and a crypt.
There is a small town - 20 minutes outside of Bari named "adelfia - Montrone". The patron saint is San Trifone. Nove 9 is the start of a three day celebration. On Nov 9 is the early evening a giant beautiful balloon is release which signifies the start of the festival. On the 10th, the statue of San Trifone is brought out of the church and paraded around the town. Bands from all over Italy come and perform on the outdoor stage. Fireworks are displayed throughout the evening into the early morning. The different men's club compete on which club can have the biggest, loudest and spectacular display. Vendors surround the town with goods,food and gifts. Last year I counted over 200 parked buses from all over southern Italy. It really is a popular celebration. If you google Adelfia, Montrone, Bari, italy, you will be able to read more about the festival. You may have to glick on "translate" on a couple of the websites that are displayed in Italian. Margie Chiechi.
Close to the archeological site of Olympia, Katakolon is known as the birthplace of the Olympics. Here you can see the temple of Zeus along with the remains of the original Olympic stadium. Recap the day’s historical explorations over a drink in one of the many shoreline cafes.
Near the fishing village of Katakolon sits Olympia, one of the most important religious centers of ancient Greece. This fascinating destination is the site of the original Olympic games and the Temple of Zeus, one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. Since the modern Games were revived in 1896, the Olympic torchbearers return to Olympia every two years to ignite the flame, which is then carried to the site of the next Olympic games.
Stadium
More than 40,000 spectators could fill the stadium to witness contests ranging from foot races to the pentathlon. But, it was also a place of neutrality where people of neighboring independent states could meet, compete, worship and honor one another for their accomplishments.
Temple of Zeus
These ruins of massive dimension are still an impressive sight. Only a bit smaller than the Parthenon in Athens, it was a classic temple in the Doric style, first built in the fifth century, BC.
Prytaneion
Other Olympia landmarks include the Prytaneion, a complex where winners were feted and where the eternal flame for the original Olympic games once burned.
